christal blue persuasions musings

Ok tomorrow I weigh in and I really hope it isnt my imagination that my pants are fitting better. I wear only draw string pants as I hate anything that is a waistband, tag in the shirt or bra bandish—having boobs worthy of any twelve year old, I can get away without one). BUT I had to draw my draw strings tighter yesterday and today. So it seems I may be beginning to banish fat from my pants.

It wont be much of a loss if at all but Im looking forward to it. Ive realized I am not allowed to play my Sims 2 game after dinner .Last night I asked Robert if I could work out with him on the Total Gym (he has been a weight lifter, Tai Shu Do red belt and Tai Kwan Do black belt since his early teens–so if anyone can help–he can) and got so sucked into my game that I forgot.

Ive been looking at my food journal and Ive realized how hard it is to do low fat, low calories AND low carbs. Low fat diets tend to have higher carbs and low carbs tend to have higher fat—as Robin of the Dynamic Duo would say “Great chaos and conundrum,Batman.Is the Joker involved?” Im sure as I continue to investigate I will be able to find some happy medium. Right now low fat is the most important as my genetic mad High Cholesterol and High Blood Pressure is my immediate danger…I cant have a stroke until my last kid graduates college, there just isnt time for it.

On a different note, my Samantha called to tell me that because she has been on the Deans List all year, she received a small grant. Im so proud of her I could bust. I have links to a video of her and myself goofing around and photos of my kids to the right …like any proud Mamma Bear I have to pull out my cyber wallet and show off their pictures.

They upped Lizzs’ med a tiny bit and it seems to be balancing her well. She slept through the night only waking up one time to go potty. This is a child who has never slept through the night in eleven years…Go Lizzie Go Lizzie!!

Shawn Patrick moves in with his gf  Jill their very first apartment ever in a few days so Im trying to finish a painting for their new place and looking around for bargains on paint stripper etc to help Jill strip some of her hand me down furniture and then I will paint is with my art work.

Also, some people at the Partylights night were admiring my earings so I have a few orders for my bead work. Maybe this beading thing will get off the ground after all!

So at any rate, Im going to my friend Carol Anns to work on one of her attics so there will be much stair walking and lifting involved. I gotta admit though, if theres one thing I loath, it’s sweating. I better get over it fast , huh?

So many good things happening and pending… Im going to play my Sims 2 now with a timer to boot me off when is time for me to wake Lizz up and be the mean school teacher I am, tighter draw strings and all.
